I also have a dummies book called Home Recording for Musicians.  It has some good explainations of effects and even includes tips on some starting points for settings for various effects.

Inverse wah: Generally the given a function y = f(x), this tool attempts to find its inverse: x = f-1(y). Here, x is a point in the frequency of f and y is a point in the range of f..lol. That is were a Wah goes from a lower to higher frequency, if you inverse that effect you go from high to low within a specific frequency range.

Octave doubler: By half-cycle rectifying the signal, its frequency can be divided by two, creating a sound one octave below the original pitch. This is often used to fatten up solos and other parts played high up the neck. This effect is known to overload amplifiers when used on low bass lines. Usually, the effect can't be used on it's own, but can only be mixed in.

Just my thoughts on this.

Does anyone know of a good glossary of effects?  It's immense fun playing around with them, but I feel like there should be some sort of primer out there, preferably on line.  

If you know of one, let me know!  Thanks.
